Towards Pessimism
Mark Steyn isn’t the only one tempting me with pessimism lately.
This post about “The Most Disturbing Movie of 2005″ makes me afraid to grow old in a society whose conscience has grown so callous:
What does it say about our culture when even Christians can find quasi-pedophilia and scatology “poetic and penetratingâ€? Forget the “gay cowboy movie.†The critical response to Me, You, and Everyone We Know shows that we’ve moved beyond glorifying illicit sexuality between adults and are making cinema safe for pedophilia. I’m not sure what it says about the people who are praising the film. But anyone who can appreciate such destruction of childhood innocence isn’t anyone I want to know.
